James Lileks
If you're not already keeping tabs on James Lileks' website, you really should start. He has an absolute genius for taking the ordinary events of life and turning then into comedy gold. While there, you can check out the Gallery of Regrettable Food and Interior Desecrations. Also not to be missed -- Ozark Vacation Dee-Lites. You'll laugh, you'll cry. Actually, you'll laugh until you cry.
If you want the unique perspective on every day life, check out the Daily Bleat. I really enjoyed his series on Disney World (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4).
Here's an enjoyable bit from today's Bleat:
Tonight I made the worst tacos ever. Home tacos never hit the spot like restaurant tacos. I suspect there's one key spice they withhold from the home market, available only to certain people with the right connections. A powerful, shady cabal. Once the mailman delivered a copy of "Taco Insider" to the wrong address, and the entire family disappeared. They found their bodies in a Mexican grave. Cause of death: they'd been smothered with cheese. The ingredient is probably MSG, I know. But I'd like to think it's a special pepper that tastes different than the other peppers. I've always wondered about those "Five Pepper Blends" "“ wouldn't the strongest pepper render the rest moot? No one dumps five different peppers on their tongue, waits for the burn to leave, then picks up the delicate under flavor of the shy, retiring peppers. I know I'll get mail from pepper enthusiasts who could put a habenero up one nostril and a jalapeno up the other and identify them without hesitation, but for me "“ Mr. Oven Mitt Palate, Mr. Asbestos-Glove-For-Tongue "“ I can't tell. Still, home tacos are just off. Tonight I tried Old El Paso's Stand and Stuff Salsa flavored shells. Everyone had the expression of an elderly municipal librarian finding clown porn on a computer screen.
Go. Read. Laugh. Enjoy the stuff of life.
